The best book you've ever read ?

[lakim0]

I couldn't find any thread similar to this, but I love reading good books, so it's an awesome opportunity to share several ones. You can post several, but choose one as THE BEST!

My favorite is :

Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

Other beloved ones :

Goethe - Faust
Jack London - Martin Eden
Stendhal - The red and the black
Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita

etc etc..........

P.S I always get surprised when people say "Twilight" as the best book or any other BS like that.

Regards!

Anything by George Orwelll but particularly love, Down and out in Paris and London and Homage to Catalonia.

Ray Carver: What we talk about when we talk about love.

Charles Bukowski: Run with the Hunted or Post Office

Anything by Hunter S Thompson. Love his Political campaign trail books and fear and loathing is a classic but always had a soft spot for The rum diaries.

Anything by W.Somerset Maugham

Chuck Pahlaniuk: Rant

Maus: Art Spiegelman

Albert Camus: L'estranger

Louis ferdinand Celine: Journey to the end of the night.

Cervantes: Don Quixote

Probably my favourite book for the sheer energy and way it made me feel at the time is On the road by Jack Kerouac.

Lets leave it at fiction or this could go on !

I'll look into those threads for sure, come on guys, share your best ones, giving rep to all

Lot of good books in this thread. Never read this one, although I know the story. Really enjoyed The Naked and the dead.

The moral of this thread is if you are into IM its very hard to read as many books as you used to. In fact I can only read non fiction lately.

Well, you're more than right but I can read really fast so it's no problem for me I always find an hour to read.

Anything bu George Orwelll but particularly love, Down and out in Paris and London and Homage to Catalonia.

Never would've expected an Orwell mention around these parts. Commendable.
As far as the "best" book goes, that's a question most avid readers would have difficulty with, so here's some of my favorite writers and literature.

David Hume, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Twain, Hemingway, S.T Joshi, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, etc.
As far as Fiction goes, I read a lot of Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clive Barker, Alernon Blackwood, Issac Asimov.
